June 1 Enrollees May Graduate In Shorter Time
University ROTC plans allow summer session enrollees to graduate in about three years with a degree and Reserve Corps commission. Current juniors could receive commissions around February 1943, sophomores begin advanced military study in 1942, and freshmen accelerate to enter the advanced course by February 1943. Students starting June 1 and taking both sessions may finish slightly under three years to align with Selective Service timing.
